YouTubeTook a bunch of photos today of the Lincoln Theater Open House Tour. Big crowds and a big turnout. Great weather for it, and lots of people hanging around outside to eat and drink and hang out. Good stuff!

Tonight was the first show (Maurice Hines) which was sold out. I had meetings and things to do all evening and didn't get home until around 9:30 tonight, and was pleasantly greeted by the wonderful sight of hustle and bustle and life and activity and energy and excitement on East Long Street.
I turned the corner and drove home and got my camera and hurried back over. I passed several older couples headed back to their cars parked on my street, which seemed like a very out of place sight in this neck of the woods (to be walking down the sidewalk at almost 10pm at night). I made it a point to smile and say hi to everyone I saw. Welcome welcome welcome! Friendly friendly friendly!
Around the corner, a mass of people stood in front of the Theatre post-show to hang out and chat and wait for their significant others to fetch their vehicles. A cop stood out in the street to direct traffic. Many ducked across the street in between cars to head into the open doors of the Zanzibar Cafe. People poured in as loud jazz music poured out. The music sounded live, but I didn't get a chance to go inside. I'm wondering if they're still working on that liquor license.
I walked across the street to take more photos in front of the Theatre. I only managed to get a few before the sky opened up and rain dumped hard for five quick minutes, which sent everyone yelping for cover under awnings and overhangs. Not wanting to waterlog my digital camera, I decided to jog back home in my squishy flip-flops. Smiling all the way.
I know not every show will sell out. But I can't help but be excited about this. Looking forward to more energetic evenings.

A very short video of the music outside Zanzibar. I should have taken more, but again... was in a hurry. ;)

For The Columbus DispatchAnother jewel has joined the glittering cluster of diamonds that make up Columbus' rich assembly of living historic theaters. The Lincoln Theatre, originally named the Ogden Theatre and Ballroom, officially re-opened last night with a sold-out performance by Maurice Hines, the hall's new Artistic Director-in-Residence.
